Am I entitled to my ex-husband's retirement benefit if we were married for 19 years before the divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
Thank you for the important question. You need to hire an experienced family law attorney like me. Please call - I can help. The answer to your question depends upon whether or not the divorce decree awards you any portion of your ex-husband's pension. Generally, pension benefits our marital property subject to allocation at the time of the divorce. The allocation ordinarily takes place pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order oftentimes referred to as a QDRO. Please contact me for a free consultation. We will be able to assist you to determine whether or not you are entitled to a share of your ex-husband's pension.

Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
You will be responsible for half of all credit card charges and maybe EDD. Depends whether his business is a sole proprietor. If he has a business, you need an attorney to help you.

Would be able to get half of my husband pension and his annuity?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Marshall L. Horton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Horton Law Firm, LLC
Ma'am: Generally, at the time of divorce, all assets and debts that were acquired during the marriage are split evenly. That means that if there is a pension/ annuity that was earned during the marriage, it can be split evenly. However, there are a lot of factors that go into something like that and we would need to know all of the facts of the case before advising you one way or the other. In terms of child support, yes, provided that you are the custodial parent, you would receive child support. How much you receive would depend upon both of your incomes, how many children you have, etc. I could give you an estimate at a consultation. Lastly, yes, you will be able to move. Furthermore, you may be able to gain a substantial portion of the equity in the marital home in a divorce action. Everything above is a recital of basic South Carolina family law principles. However, the law is complicated and I would need more information to actually advise you in your situation. Please contact our office if you need more information. Thank you,
